Drawn: The Painted Tower

Puzzle adventure from Big Fish Games in UK shops now.

October 2009 – Drawn™: The Painted Tower is an enchanting puzzle adventure game which sends you on a cinematic journey to rescue a child queen with a special gift. It has been created by Big Fish Games Studios, one of the world’s leading casual games developers.

Recently launched as an internet-only exclusive, Drawn was the best-selling title from Big Fish Games Studios in 2009, garnering exceptional reviews. UK-based publisher Focus Multimedia is now making Drawn available on PC CD-ROM for the first time, as part of its growing portfolio of premium casual games.

In Drawn, players become part of a unique and beguiling story. It begins with Iris being kept inside The Painted Tower for her own protection. There are some who wish to prevent her destiny from coming to pass and use her power for themselves. A curse has locked each floor of the tower and only the most intrepid explorer can find a way to the top – and Iris.

In this beautifully animated adventure, you will enter lush painted universes and solve perplexing puzzles in order to gain access to the highest reaches of the tower. But hurry, Iris’ position has been betrayed and enemies approach the tower. Can you reach her in time? Will her destiny be fulfilled?

In this first installment of the Drawn story, we have focused on creating a richly painted world with differentiated game play and fantastic puzzles.
